The latest issue of the Goon Show Preservation Society @thegsps.bsky.social newsletter is in the post to members. If you're not one of them, you're missing out.

The @thegsps.bsky.social will be represented at the @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social Roadshow in St Albans on 22nd March. We'll have a stall, come and say hello, and there will be a showing of a newly restored reel of Thames TV's Tales of Men's Shirts from 1968.
There's lots of other stuff on too...
Hello Simon
That's a common tape, which was issued as Goon Show Classics Episode 5 in 1990. I have a copy personally, and the Society has copies of pretty much everything released. Details of the few things we don't are on our website.
Here's news of a newly published book which will pique the interest of Goon Show enthusiasts. A Lifetime in Television by Marjorie Graham looks as far back as her 1950s experiences working for Richard Lester, with Milligan, Sellers et al. on the 'Fred' TV shows.

New on The Goon Show Preservation Society website, there’s the Multiple Choice Quiz and the Peter Sellers Picture Quiz which were set for our annual meeting.
Also, stories taken from a 1996 meeting where John Browell, John P Hamilton and Brian Wiley talked of their days working with the Goons.
Sad news that the last of the original contributors to the Goon Show and GSPS Honorary President has passed away.
The new edition of Goon Show News is on its way to @thegsps.bsky.social members. It's a good one.

I saw those fellows' show a few months ago. It was excellent.
New! THE SALE OF MANHATTAN
With Tom Salinsky @tomsalinsky.bsky.social
pod.link/1569929507
The one where Seagoon is approached at the Athenæum Club by two chisellers, duped into believing he owns New York and paddles all the way there in a zinc bath tub to claim his birthright.
It doesn't go well.
The Peter Sellers Centenary events are still going. There's a filmshow in Birmingham on 15th November.

New episode! THE POLICY
pod.link/1569929507
With Andy Bell @rhaglencymru.bsky.social
The Goon Show had several fixations - plagues and disease, World War Two, the decline of Empire - and, as with this week's episode, insurance policies.
Join us under a short, fat tent for The Indigestion Waltz!
What a great opportunity to introduce Spike Milligan's humour to a new generation - on @itvx.com
THE MAN WHO TRIED TO DESTROY LONDON'S MONUMENTS
With @rogerthesaurus.bsky.social
pod.link/1569929507
Join us for a couple of rounds of "Is It Spike Or Is It Peter?" as we discuss the earliest Goon Show covered on GP so far!
Also: Goon panto and the intriguing story of Fred Flange!
GOON POD Q&A
pod.link/1569929507
This week Tyler tackles listeners' questions!
What if Spike had written for Tony Hancock?
Why did Barry Cryer complain about the Goons?
Was Minnie Bannister inspired by The Bride of Frankenstein?
..And much much more!

A reminder. The Goon Show Preservation Society will be represented at the @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social Festival of Film & TV Roadshow at Hebden Bridge Picture House on Saturday 11th October. There will be a film screening, and you can come and talk to us at our stall.
NED: A house!
BLOODNOK: It's a mirage.
NED: Nonsense... Let's go in. Eccles - search the house for food... Oh! It's vanished. You were right - a mirage.
BLOODNOK: I told you.
ECCLES: AHHHHH!
FX: CRASH OF BODY
BLOODNOK: What happened?
ECCLES: I was upstairs.

THE NADGER PLAGUE
With Sean Gaffney @toukochan.bsky.social
pod.link/1569929507
Presumably the blue-pencil-clutching BBC censors were blissfully unaware of another meaning of the word 'nadgers' when they let this go out in 1956! We also discuss Liberace, Son of Fred, Telegoons and... Harry Potter?
A quick reminder, the Goon Show Preservation Society's annual meeting is this Saturday in Finchley, near to the home of the East Finchley boy hero Bluebottle.
Come along...
Calling Bluebottle! #TheGoonsShowPreservationSociety present an exclusive screening at our #TPTV Festival of Film & TV Roadshow at Hebden Bridge Picture House Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th October.

There are several Peter Sellers themed programmes on Radio 4 Extra next week. I've updated my list here:
